I'm going to be tacky now

On Michelle Obama's trip, I suggest to her that if you don't have the boobs to hold up your blouse, don't wear it.  And what is it with the "tan" lines?  Has she been going to the tanning booth or laying out in the sun?  And if this is a "private family trip" why are we taxpayers footing the bill?

Millionaires' playground': The hotel Villa Padierna in Marbella, where Michelle and Sasha Obama will stay for four days. Luxurious: The Obamas have booked 60 rooms and will spend four nights at the five-star Villa Padierna?

The cost, in addition to the lodging, a room for $2,500 X somewhere between 60 and 70 rooms equals around $170,000.00,  and those are just the rooms.  The suits are so very much more.  Don't forget the 70 Secret Service agents. 

But the first family is just like the rest of us smucks, Obama told us so, remember? Obama told ABC the First Couple is "not that far removed from what most Americans are going through." And that "it was just a few years ago that we had high credit card balances, we had two kids, thinking about college. We had our own retirement accounts, wondering if we were going to be able to get enough assets in there." 

The FIrst Lady's press office referred to White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs' statement at the White House briefing yesterday that "the First Lady is on a private trip."

"She is a private citizen and is the mother of a daughter on a private trip," he said. "And I think I'd leave it at that."CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller reports the C-32A (757) the First Lady used to fly to Spain - one of the planes that usually serves as Air Force Two, and sometimes Air Force One - operates at a Department of Defense reimbursement rate of $11,351 per hour.

So a 6.5 hour flight to Spain would run $73,781.50 - double for the round trip.  (CBS)

 Would I be just as upset if this were a Republican president and family?  YES!!!!

  I suggest you read this excellent article by Andrea Tantaros, and this article and pictures at the Daily Mail, and this article at CBS.

Now back to me being tacky.  Ask your grandparents or great grandparents if they have ever heard of a "tacky party".  I heard about them when I was a very little girl.  Here's how it works:  Someone would decide to have a party, they would contact those they wanted to invite with the time and place.  The idea was to come dressed as "tacky" as you possibly could.

Participants would scrounge in the attic or basement, looking for old style clothes, things that were worn out, didn't fit, anything that was just downright "tacky".

That is how Michelle Obama looks every time she steps out in public, in my opinion.  TACKY.  Nothing fits right, nothing is the right style, or color, or shape.  She has never looked like a First Lady. 

I'm done being tacky now, it's your turn.

I have seen better looking chimps on the old Tarzan movies!

she is a very UNattractive woman, her clothes designer or fashion helper needs a new career, and did she pay the 10% tax on those tan lines?

I'm going to be sick now...

LOL !!! Like my pappy used to say>>> you can polish a turd all day long, but at the end of the day it's still a turd ! LOL !!! What a sorry excuse for the 1st Lady.

I was wondering when the obamas would demonstrate how they're so in-touch with the average joe. I still remember how michelle told some liberal fool that she just like everyone else struggled with finances.

Yeah, it's a real struggle for the obamas folks, @#$%sakes someone take off their hat and pass it around, they need some of our dollars to keep them going.

"She has never looked like a First Lady."

That's cos she's not one.

She has hips wider than a volkswagen beetle and wears the ugliest clothes I've ever seen.

Well, enough of that stuff, but when a dude notices, it's BAD.

I blogged on the same topic. 'appy p[olly logies in advance. The language isn't pleasant, but hey, it's coming from Steve H.

The truth is often uncomfortable and inconvenient but NEVER tacky.

Unlike Michelle Obama, who is ALWAYS tacky. Utterly clueless with regard to fashion, style, color, her body type, elegance, class, and most of all, WHAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR A FIRST LADY TO WEAR.

She shames and embarrasses us (and herself) every time she shows that arrogant mug (and that oddly-shaped body) in public. Thank God this will soon be over ... which is why, I suspect, they're diligently working on burning through as much taxpayer cash as possible.

What losers.

And what's even more discouraging? The American people -- whom these posers DESPISE -- will support them for the rest of their sorry lives ... while they make millions more on the lecture and book circuit.

But that's okay. To quote the Pirate: "The deepest darkest circle of hell is reserved for betrayers and mutineers."

Not exactly Scriptural but I like it anyway.

Obama became president to not only socialize America, but to enforce that white Americans "pay their dues" to black Americans.

And living the "high life" on the (white) taxpayer dime is part of this strategy because as blacks, this is "owed them - straight up". They consider themselves symbolic of blacks who "suffered from white oppression for the past 400 years".

So now, they're going to make THE MAN pay and live the same way they falsely believe that all white people live. Remember Rev. Wright's sneering remarks of "rich white people" living off the backs of blacks, the poor, etc.

No doubt about it, the Obamas will milk their time at the WH for everything it's worth - no cost spared, no matter how much the rest of (white) America suffers during this Dempression.
